UNSPSC 85601413: Occlusion of cecum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of cecum, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0DLH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85601413 Occlusion of cecum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not describe work actually being solicited by state and local governments in the recent opportunities available. The code nominally refers to a specific medical procedure—percutaneous occlusion of the cecum—but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical centers of excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these scopes align with the procedure the code purports to name.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual procurement activity suggests either a data classification error or a procedural misalignment in how state and local agencies are tagging health services solicitations. State and local buyers posting opportunities in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington are using this code to describe administrative, staffing, and benefit management functions rather than surgical procedures. No state or local opportunity in the recent record is soliciting occlusion devices, surgical supplies, or procedure-specific clinical services that would logically fall under this Commodity code's stated scope. Until the code and the underlying opportunities are reconciled, business development professionals should treat this code as showing little relevant recent activity and consider whether other health services or medical supply codes better describe their capability.
